Posted tagged ‘Java’

As it was nearly a week since I last attended a conference I couldn’t be happier when on Wednesday my friend Miguel told me about the new chance available just at a few kilometers from Frankfurt. The conference allowed me to get up to date with Sun’s latest plans about the Java ecosystem.

The first presentation was from David Hofert (Sun) and it was titled “Taking Java to the next level”. Among the news I traced down the following:

We are proud to present the first Ammentos Persistence Framework release by Calameda. A lot of work has been done behind the scenes in the last months to improve the framework in many sides.

Performance: This is going to be the faster Ammentos version you’ve ever seen. A fully revisited query engine has been integrated, which speeded up our stress tests execution of about 25%.

Polymorphism: as requested by many users, Ammentos is now able to recognize the most specific type of loaded object instances. A new set of simple annotation attributes has been added to support this feature through the new types table mechanism.

Facilities: specific new attributes like syncKeys, typeTableAutoCreate, typeTableAutoInsert have been added to make Ammentos do the dirty job, and let you free to think at your business code.

Important: this is a BETA version. The last stable realease is still ammentos 1.3.7. We are making this beta available because we need your feedback, which is always the most important engine for any opensource project. Feel free to write your comments about this release, in response to this post, in our forums or by email.
